A Success Factor of a Digital Material Startup Company

Summary form only given. Japanese part/materials industry has high technology and competitive power globally and offers a part/materials having high reliability and performance to an end product such as digital home electronics. In a field of the digital material which is used for an information digital home electronics and a semiconductor in that, there is a Japanese maker holding more than 50% of world share. It is expected that strengthening of the chemistry and the new material industry that became basic was indispensable for a further competitive edge strengthening of such industry, and the role of a research and development type start-up companies that especially bore the innovation of the new material and the new functional feature was large, but a yet enough study has not been done. By this lecture, I report the thing that is different from a conventional research and development model aiming at industrialization of core technology from analysis of a case study of a startup material company which supplies for an information digital home electronics or a semiconductor and argue for the success factor.
